What the Jaguar XK8 sticker says about fuel
Fuel economy is a legally required block on every Monroney label — city, highway and combined figures plus the estimated annual fuel bill. These are the EPA numbers on file for the XK8, latest tested year 2006:
The label also prints an estimated $4,050 a year in fuel at 15,000 miles, and 484 g/mi of CO₂. EPA files the XK8 under Subcompact Cars, which is the class it gets compared against on the sticker.
How the XK8's sticker figure changed
Combined MPG printed on the label, model year by model year — 1998 to 2006. Worth checking before you compare a XK8 sticker from one year with another:
The figure has stayed broadly flat across the span. EPA revised its testing method in 2008, which shifts figures printed before and after that year.

Where to find the VIN on a Jaguar XK8
- WindshieldLower-left corner, driver's side, readable from outside without opening anything.
- Door jambOn the driver's door frame of every XK8, next to the tyre-pressure and build-date plate.
- DocumentsRegistration, title and insurance card — on a Jaguar XK8 all three must show the same number.
All four must match. A Jaguar XK8 whose windshield plate disagrees with the door jamb has either had a panel replaced or a tampered identity — check the paperwork before any money changes hands.
